AdYogi

Pre-Onboarding:

We will require the following, before beginning Google Onboarding:

• A Google Ads account.
• A Google Merchant Center account.
• If your website is not on Shopify, a Google Tag Manager account.

The Google Ads account will be used to run the ads, the Google Merchant Center will be used to host the product catalog, and the Google Tag Manager will be used to configure tags for remarketing and conversion tracking purposes.

If you have these accounts with same email address, start with the onboarding steps.  If you don’t have these accounts, refer to the Creation section.

Onboarding Steps

1. Log into your AdYogi account.
2. Go to My Account -> Setup, and choose your platform as Google,
3. Connect your Google Account i.e. log into Google as you would log into Gmail. This Google account must have access to your Google Ads and Google Merchant Center accounts.
4. Under “Google Ad Account”, click on the dropdown and select the account you wish to link.
5. Under “Google Merchant Center”, click on the dropdown and select the account you wish to link.
6. Under “Google Merchant Center Feed”, create your feed.
7. Under “Google Analytics Account”, click on the dropdown and select the account you wish to link.
8. Under “Google Tag Manager”, click on create button to create a GTM container for your website. If you have existing GTM conditioner associated with the mail id, we will get access to it.

This concludes google onboarding through the platform.
